About Us
Named for the year baseball began, 1845 Solutions builds trusted technology and tools that simplify how data is captured, connected and used across youth baseball and softball. Its flagship platform, BASE (Baseball and Softball Evaluation), is the official, and only, assessment of MLB Universe. BASE delivers objective baseball and softball player data to benchmark skills, identify strengths, and track development over time. BASE also includes a companion web solution for coaches, instructors, and training facilities (Stacks) which is a centralized platform that plugs into existing data capture systems to simplify how they manage rosters, track athletes, and surface key performance insights to support their programming.
At the core of the platform is a universal athlete ID system that ensures data control and ownership remains with the athlete or parent, enabling permission-based sharing with teams, coaches, and facilities. This portable data model allows an athlete's development journey to move with them, enabling greater continuity, safer training decisions, and smarter support at every stage.
1845 is proud to be working in partnership with Major League Baseball to establish BASE and Stacks as the foundation of a national youth technology strategy.
In the future, 1845 will be expanding its platform to include other baseball and softball facility management solutions that span facility asset management, dynamic scheduling, and a suite of business, administrative, and accounting offerings.
